Phrases you hate

[Itssohothere]

AIBU to hate most phrases regarding trying to turn the word ‘children’ into some disgustingly sickly sounding alternative?

So far my list of words I refuse to use to refer to my children:

• tiny ones
• little ones
• kiddies
• kiddos
• little poppets

They all make me

I’m not a very maternal person. I love my own children, but in general I’m not a massive fun of other people’s children. Perhaps this is why I hate these words.

What phrases do you guys hate and AIBU?

And just for the record, other phrases I hate:

“Making memories,” to me everything is a memory, I don’t understand this. A lot of my memories are not good ones, so but this phrase all memories are positive.

• “pyjammies/jammies” instead of pyjamas. It literally makes me cringe.

Anything that’s ‘cheeky’

‘Cheeky glass of wine’

Loving someone or something millions ....millions of what

That someone has done amazing or is doing amazing.

"Throwing some serious shade"

Should of instead of should have.

Skinnies for skinny jeans

draw as a noun - the word is drawer

Totes amazeballs

Today one of my colleagues wanted to handover some work before they left for two weeks’ annual leave. They actually asked me, “Mind if I download to you before I go?” I was 🤔

The thing that goes me irrationally tense is when someone says Correct, instead of Yes. It’s so patronising.

Invite instead of invitation

Munch. I have a friend that refers to every meal she eats in a restaurant as "lovely munch". 😷

Inspiration
Everyone and everything is a inspiration.

The word is so overused it frustrates and annoys me. (I was going to say it drives me crazy but that also 'drives me crazy')

“I will action that” — especially when not at work! Cringe.

Sentences that start with when but don't go anywhere, like "When you let your kids help with the washing up". Usually accompanied by a photo. Used by the kind of person who likes to put "These two though" on SM.

And "raising awareness" is very annoying. Especially when the thing doesn't raise awareness. For example, posting the colour of your knickers as your FB status only raises everyone's awareness that you are a twat with no imagination.

Furbabies , where you at , any time when people miss out words in a sentence 'lets go shops' or McDs me/ gregs me .

Gifting.
To be fair...
Starting a sentence with the word So
#Proud
#Blessed
All the things, all the noms, all the food - oh do fuck off

We fell pregnant.

Makes me imagine the woman was walking around naked when she just so happened to fall directly onto his erect penis which she had great trouble getting up from, so much trouble in fact that she tried to rise many times but just kept falling back down on it.

Oh thank god someone else hates that! It's the pseudo-official-amateur-sleuth smuggery of it for me

I probably use the phrase “safeguarding issue” a dozen times a week . But I am a designated safeguarding lead.

I’m not sure what else we could say - safeguarding is a real thing and it’s a huge part of my job. But any suggestions would be welcome!

Anything to do with being

Nature of the beast

My one

The boy did good

Most of what my 11 year old and his friends constantly say to each other:

"Sup fam"
"Sup bro"
"New addidas"
"Bare good fam"
"Safe bro"
"Calm"

Most of the phrases quoted on here fall into 3 categories for me:

1. Never heard of them eg 'rents, vajayjay
2. Heard them but don't use them and they don't bother me eg where you to (though I hear more often 'where to are you'), going forward etc
3. Really get on my tits (there's another one people will probably dislike!) eg hubby, holibobs, little one, you ok hun?
4. Use all the time eg

"I just say things the way they are/I tell it like it is" - No, you're just rude.

"Bae" - What the hell is this?!

"On fleek" - I still don't know what this is supposed to mean.

"U/Ur" - Use the correct word!!!!! You, your, you're!

"We're pregnant" - No, she is. You, collectively, are not.

"Actually/in actual fact ..." - No, it isn't, you're just saying that to give your sentence more authority.

"To be fair..." - Why, weren't you going to be? Is there a jury measuring the fairness of this conversation?!

To be honest ..no I'd rather you spun me a tissue of lies

What's for dinner? Especially with no preamble inquiring if I'm alive

Have you seen my...eg socks, pants

There's no toilet paper

I've got food tech tomorrow and all the shops are now shut
